both of my sleds are at 25.5" center to center, roughly 1.75" in front(towards engine) of the stock rear mounting hole and slightly above it's location...as seen in below pic.

So 25.5" from center of front mount?

yes and to center of rear hole...
So what about the tunnel reinforcement and torque arms that come in the installation kit?
Are they not needed?
Sorry for all the questions
Just want to understand before I start

No, they are not needed. Stock locations have reinforcements on the tunnel, no others are needed. Combined 8000+ miles on both sleds since installing the used m10's and have not a single issue...and I don't let off when I hit the big stuff...lol

Ok
A little concerned about the rear location
what kind of reinforcement did you use on the rear? thanks guys

For the metrics I used a heavy duty flat washer on the inside for the rear to take up the small gap. If you have the factory m10 plate for the rear that goes outside the tunnel, use it.
I did not have the plates on both of my installs, so cut some flat stock to length from a fleet type store, and marked and drilled the holes. You can see it at the rear location on the tunnel in the pic.

How did you determine the rear location
Did you have the template?
I am going to order the two rear outside plates

From other m10s mounted..
I see you can buy just the template from fast
I think I will buy one just to help locate the rear mounts

I just bought a 02 viper and it has a M-10 under it... I can take some pics of the inside of tunnel if you would like some visual help. It looks like they used the existing reinforcing plates.
